4.5 superbIllska90 | November 6th 08

This album is very much like the "Storm Of The Light's Bane" (Dissection), except it's two years older. One of the first Blackened Death Metal albums, it's really good, the melodies are very varied (there are many different types of riffs), the lyrics are all quite similar though, about Satan and that kind of stuff. This was made in the famous Sunlight Studios but still has a very different atmosphere from, say Entombed, the production is kind of similar but without the overkill of mid-frequencies, I guess it's more black metal, more "necro". Also, what is more in the Black Metal direction is that the album is much more "dark" that "butal", as I said; similar to Storm Of The Light's Bane. As on many albums recomended tracks are the two first ones, the last one, and the title track.

I keep coming back to my rating of this album and thinking, "do I really think it's that good?" Time and time again I re-listen to it and conclude that yes, it is that good. Besides the crushing riffs and the blackened atmosphere, there is a surprising amount of diversity in this album which I think is the standout feature for me. There are more brutal albums, there are more trve albums, but there are few that can perfectly combine the "metal-factor" with intelligent songwriting which can be found here.
